Cardinal Gibbons TO be "Batted'' at the
COnsistory on March II.
BAITIMOKE, March 5.-1he following
special from Rome is to the AmeieaR:
"The public ConsistOry at which Car
dinal Gibbons and Cardinal Taschereau
will be hatted has been fixed for March IL,
as originally announced. Three days earlier
the secret consistory will be held in the
Sala, Ducale, without the presence
Of the American Cardinals. His Holt
ness had determined to hold the cOnsis-
tory on March 30, or ~thereabOuts, indefer-
ence to the death Of Cardinal Jacobini, but,
as will be seen, he has thought best not to
defer the ceremony. At the meeting no
reference will be made to the question OF
labor in its relation to the Church in
America, mol will anything be said for or
against Father McGlynn. Both of these
matters will be settled privately by the
Vatican, through Cardinal SimeOni.
1t is expected that the Project of the
Holy Congregation Of the Propaganda,
will shortly receive papers from Archbish-
op Kendrick, of st. Louis, and the Arch
bishop of Santa Fe, in which they will de-
fend their action in voting against the
interests ofthe Knights of Labor ut the late
third Plenary Council.
One of the latest rumors is that Cardinal
TindarO, lately elevated, is to he made Pa
pal Secretary of State. Cardinal Tindaro
belongs to Sicilian nobility. He has been

During the jubilee to be held here next
year in cOmmemOratiOn of the tittieth an

these will be three JesuitS, viz: blessed
John Berchmans," Blessed A%lphonsus
Rodriguez, and blessed Peter ClavOr."
The saints were made blessed" some time

~ENGLAND'S SCHEME
To Iniure the American Flour Tradc-An
Investigation.

To Iniure the American Flour Trsdo-An
Investigation.
NEW YORK, March 5.-The flour trade
is somewhat exercised over a London pro-
iect to establish in Rio Janciro a -four
milling company with a capital of E5UO,-
900. No flour is at present millcd in Bra
I'll, for the excellent reason that there are
no mills there.
American vessels from the ports of New
York. Baltimore and Richmond carry out
cargoes of flour to Brazil. The duty is 10
cents per barrel. The carrying of the
flour about pays the expenses of the out
ward voyage, and the profit of the trip is
made on the return cargo of coffee which
these vessels bring back.
Now, the English company proposes to
carry grain from the Argentine Republic
and Chill into Brazil and mill il there.
No duty is imposed on grain in that coun-
try, and hence the American flour trade
would find it impossible to compete with
the flour made on the spot so long rs the
duty of - cents per barrel is charged.
The effect on American commerce would
extend even further, however. The
steamships running between here and Bra
iii carry out more than twO-thirds OF a
cargo of general, merchandise, and always
have to ill up with some thousands
of barrels of flour. Ii they did not
carry the -four they would have to go
ont with half or twO-thirds cargOes,
and this would reduce their profits danger
ously. Tn" imports from Brazil are about
six times as large as the exports thither,
and nearly all Of them that are imported
in large quantities such as coilee-of which
the impartS are ahnnt S3D, 0AD, 900 a year
rubber, nuts, and hides, are brought
into the United States absolutely free.
The flour men in this country think
that something ought to he done about
this matter. The English company is

and is promising - TO 20 per cent.
dividends. A committee of six members
of the trade from this city, Baltimore
and Richmond recently went to see
Secretary Bayard and the Brazilian
| Minister in regard 10 the subject. Secre-
tary Bayard asked them to prepare Stats
ties and \ clear presentation OF the qnes-
ton, and will send 1t to Brazil by the
American Minister, who is now IN Wash

Mutiny In the X. of L.. Camp.

CINCINNATI, March There is trouble
brewing in the Knights OF Labor camp
which may assume important proportions.
",JOe" Buchanan, IN ex-member OF the
General Executive Board, X. of L., and
who was a delegate to the recent conven-
ton ut Richmond, Va, says the work OF
the Richmond meeting did not suit him,
THE work was so rotten and has proven SO
injurious to the order that he had about
made up his mind to publish the whole
proceeding to the world. The local assem-
blies have already demanded Of the dele
gates n complete exposure and it will he
well to 20 further and let everybody know
what kind of people are ut the head Of the
great order of the Knights of Labor"

that was done ut Richmond, denounceS
! buchanan as unreliable and worthless. Mr.
Buchanan is the editor of two papers, and
he promises to make it lively for the Pow
derby brethren.

Prices of Leading Articles Cheaper Than
for Forty Years.
New YORK, March 5.-Thc Sun O-day
says: The table OF wholesale prices of lead
ing commodities published every year by
the London Economist shows for January
/, 1887, a slight improvement over pre-
viOus years. The average of the articles
selected for comparison, which during the
five years preceding 1850 was taken rs
:, 200, and under the influence of the i'm
mense gold discoveries i'll California and
Australia rose in ISIS to 1896, fell in 1856
to 2,G33. That is to say, the leading staple
commodities of the world could, on the
average be bought for u little less III lSSt
than they were bought for in ~lSl5-1O, and
for two-thirds of what they could be bought
for in 1853. But the average for january
|, 1887, is 2,O59, and the question Il
whether this indicates the change OF the
tide, and whether prices are now ON th'
point OF taking a permanent upward turn
The average rise indicated-is produced 10y
a large incrcaSein the case of a few COM
mOdities, while the majority show a de
crease. Taking out the few exceptional
cases OF a rise, it is evident that the tend
ency of prices on the whole is still down
ward, with no immediate promise OF re
action.

and now lies unconscious. While hoping
that the attack may not prove fatal, grave
fears are entertained by his family and in

Mr.. Beecher resides with his son Col.
Henry Beecher, at the corner of Hicks and
Clark streets, in Brooklyn. \ son who is
in the West, another in San Francisco, and

complained of being sick. His wife arose
TO get something for him to drink. lie
began to vomit freely, then lay back upon
his pillow apparently exhausted. In q
short time he fell asleep Mrs. Beecher
concluded that he would feel better III n
few hours.
The first breakfast bell rang hut did not
,waken hinl. The second bell also passed
unhceIed. Mrs. BeecheT had been up for
ss.ne time and did not wish tOdiSturb him..
Becoming alarmed she made an attempt to
arouse him, but could not do so. She
called her son and daughter .n-law. They
tried to rouse him. He tried to speak but
his voice was thick and articulation iudis-
tinct. DIR. w. S. Searle, the family physl-
clan, was called in. He pronounced Mr..

New YORK, March 5.-The Knights OF
attached to District Assembly 40 are
again considerably exercised over reports
regarding the purchase of the P~ythaSoras

Quite q cumbersome sixty luall-ot the
locals demurred to this assessment II re-

locals seeded because of it, and formed
the Montauk District Assembly, giving as
a reason for their action that the hall could
not he used by them as a headquarters
nor for meeting purposes, and also object

was unnecessary.
Inquiries made of real estate agents who
are informed on the subject OF values IN the

Superintendent O'Brien and Trainmaster

vicinity and watched the officials coupling
thirty-twu freight ears together, there WAS
no trouble. The train was pulled up into
the heart Of the city, and while standing

speedily replaced by an official.
4 road engine was then attached, and
the train started towards Cleveland, being
run by officials, several officials standing
